Fallacy of Special Privation

A fallacy where someone applies standards of privation—demands to account for harm, suffering, or failure—selectively, demanding that one system or idea be judged by its worst outcomes while exempting another system from the same standard. "Religion has caused wars, therefore religion is evil" from someone who ignores wars fought for secular ideologies. "Science has been wrong before, therefore science isn't trustworthy" from someone who trusts science when it confirms their biases. "Your side has bad people" from someone whose side also has bad people, but that doesn't count. Special Privation is hypocrisy in logical form: the harms that matter are the harms your opponents cause; your side's harms are justified, minimal, or irrelevant.

"He spent an hour listing every harm caused by organized religion throughout history. When I mentioned secular atrocities, he said 'That's different—those weren't really about ideology.' That's Fallacy of Special Privation: one standard for them, another for us. The privation is special because it only applies to people we don't like."

Middle Village Special

A Middle Village Special is when you're from place A and you act a fool in place B. Meaning if you get caught, there are little to no repercussions for your actions, since no one knows you. Not to be confused with the Astoria Scuff, where you are from place A and you act a fool in place B, but the accusers with infinite time on their hands decide its your time.
Middle Village is simultaneously the most local and non-local place in New York City, and the only people from there are rich. If you aren't rich, you can always pull a Middle Village Special.

Your buddy: "I was pissing on a tree drunk the other night and passed out in the middle of the street."

You: "How the fuck weren't you caught?"
Your buddy: "I did get caught, but it was a Middle Village Special, so there was nothing they could do about it."

Austin Dyer Special

The act of searching for a naked blonde-haired, blue eyed, 5'4 male, when you find one that fits the description, you stare at him until they walk towards you to signal that they are about to ejaculate. When he is on the edge of ejaculating, do the Muhammed Ali shuffle and say, "The Eye of Cthulhu is approaching!" and you pull out your eyeballs and shove them up his anal cavity.

"I heard Wendy's is serving the Austin Dyer Special for $5."
"Are you fucking shitting me?"
"Deadass."
"..."
"Grab your keys, nigga, what are you waiting for?"
"I'm waiting for him to stop staring at me."
"Who's him?"
"I'M HIM." - Lebron James
"BIG TWENTY-THREEEEEEEEEEEEE."
